Structural insulated panel for building construction

a technology of structural insulation and building construction, applied in the direction of building insulation, roofs, building components, etc., can solve the problems of not having a finished surface on the inside nor the outside, too expensive and inefficient installation of 4 foot wide panels, and the process of covering inside and outside surfaces after building/wall construction is very expensiv

Problems solved by technology

The 4 foot wide panels were too costly and inefficient to install when one big panel could replace six small 4-foot-wide panels.
However, a problem with this big 8 foot by 24 foot panel was that it did not have a finished surface on the inside nor outside, since OSB does not provide it.
Unfortunately, this process of covering inside and outside surfaces after building / wall construction is very expensive and made construction with SIPs more expensive than conventional “stick” construction.
Even though SIP construction could save 30% to 50% of the heat loss, there has been continued resistance to use the SIP systems because of costs of material versus “stick” construction.

Embodiment Construction

[0013]The illustrated structural insulated panel (SIP panel) is large in size, such as 8 foot by 24 foot, and further incorporates outer layers forming high grade exterior and interior finishes as manufactured. The large size reduces on-site construction costs, and the exterior and interior finishes reduce on-site finishing costs. As a result, the present SIP panels reduce the overall cost of total building construction, so that the completed cost is less expensive than “stick” construction (e.g., wood stud framing for “framed” buildings having an on-site added outside such as vinyl siding and an on-site added inside such as drywall). The present SIP panels also save up to 50% of the heating and cooling costs, as well as meet fire code regulations.

[0014]This invention applies a finish in the factory to these large SIP panels. A combination of changed factors and upgrades of materials with the oriented strand board (OSB) and structural insulated paper makes for a panel finished insid...

Abstract

A structural insulated panel (SIP), such as 8 foot×24 foot, is made with a foam plastic core, oriented strand board on each face, and structural paper on either side of that, all bonded together. The oriented strand board capped with structural paper provides a particularly strong wall structure. Also, the structural paper provides a finished surface as manufactured. SIP-to-SIP joints are created using an insert sandwiched between end portions of in-line-joined SIP panels.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application claims benefit under 35 U.S.C. §119(e) of provisional application Ser. No. 61 / 056,217, filed May 27, 2008, entitled STRUCTURAL INSULATED PANEL FOR BUILDING CONSTRUCTION, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein in its entirety.BACKGROUND[0002]The present invention relates to structural insulated panels such as for building exterior walls, and building structures using same.[0003]Structural insulated panels (SIPS) have been around for a number of years. In the 1950's until about 1980, panels were made 4 feet wide and up to 12 feet long with commodity plywood and other materials. Some of these panels have finishes that were acceptable as exterior wall surfaces. The most common was a plywood pattern called reverse board and batten or sometimes T 1-11 ply. The inside of that was a material such as drywall or plywood. The center of these panels was plastic foam to complete a SIP panel.[0004]The SIP panels discussed ...
